Ode To Sleep

Sleep, the gentle sleep,

bless us with peace,

caress our bruises

and soothes our pains. 

Sleep, the gentle sleep, 

like a mother

 take us on her lap 

wiping our tears,

removing our fears,

encouraging towards our goals,

teaching a lesson

to be bold and bright

as happiness and pain 

are angels of God 

and the rule of world.

Sleep, the gentle sleep,

set an eerie silence

 to all our moaning and groaning 

and the hue and cry of the busy day 

rejuvenate our body and mind 

for the coming next day.

Oh! Sleep, the gentle sleep.
